    Which vets did you get that price from mate? I'm also in Norfolk and struggling to find a decent price to get my three Jill's jabbed this year. Cheers

    Inverter welders are funny old things and the supply varies between manufactuers but like you say 16A is the norm. It will be easier once you know the size of the breaker feeding the cooker socket as if it's bigger than 16amp, you don't really want to be putting a 16 amp socket on the end as you will be over rating it and have the potential for electrical fire/ damage (if the welder developed a fault.)

    What size is the breaker/ fuse supplying the cooking socket (Normally they are fed at around 40 amp)? If it is a 16amp just remove the cooker socket and put a 16 amp socket on the end of the cable instead and the corresponding plug on the welder ( the caravan type you mentioned). What size supply does the welder actually need, it should say in the manual. Ps I'm a sparky by trade ATB Andy

    Had a jill jabbed over the last 4 years and never came back into season till the next spring. It used to cost 25 quid but the vet has now said the legislation has changed and once the vial is opened it had to be used so the cost will go up massively next year. Ive now got 3 more jills which will also need jabbing so it might still be cost effective or I will have to look into getting a snipped hob.

    Nice write-up. I'd love to get out and give it a go myself some time.

    I like the look of the wooden pins, what dimensions are they made to? And do you gather the net onto the pin the same way as when using a longer net?

    End Pins

    andysparks posted a topic in Longnetting

    Hi, I need to get a set of end pins for a pair of 5yard stop nets I have ordered and was wondering where the best place to get them from was? I done a quick google search and only found Bridport nets selling them and with no pictures, I have no idea of the quality. Im sure I read somewhere that with the short stop nets you can use a peg instead of a pin....is this true? This will be the first time I'll be using any type of net other than purse nets so any help is much appreciated. Andy

    More good ideas, cheers mate, I should have joined earlier! And am i better off training in my (small) garden or out in the open?

    Thanks for the quick replies, its obviously not a new problem then? I think i'll try using a skin as shes already interested in any shot rabbits i bring home so it might make her hold on.

    Hi there, im new to this forum and thought i'd jump straight in at the the deep end with a question. I've controlled rabbits for a few years now (mostly shooting) and 6 months ago I decided to get a whippet to help me out. Her basic training is going well except for retrieving to hand. The problem is; she retrieves the ball/dummy well but then drops it a yard infront of me around 90percent of the time when out in a quiet field. The problem is far less when training in the house or garden but is still there. Is this a common problem or am i expecting too much or doing something really wrong? An
